Sopwith Antelope

The Sopwith Antelope was a British three-seat transport aircraft built after the end of the First World War.

A single-engined biplane based on the Sopwith Wallaby long-range aircraft, only a single Antelope was built.

[1][2][3] Like the Wallaby, the Antelope was a single-engined tractor biplane, but with a modified fuselage to accommodate the pilot and two passengers.

The pilot sat in an open cockpit under the tailing edge of the wing, in front of an enclosed cabin where the two passengers sat on wicker seats facing each other, with a door on the left side of the cabin to give direct access and windows to provide the passengers with a view.

[4][5][6] It was powered by a single 180 hp (134 kW) Wolseley Viper water-cooled V8 engine and had two-bay wings.
